Vagisil #EndEmbarrassment Campaign - Sponsored Video

Monday, June 22, 2015

I think this is an issue,
which isn’t spoken about enough. Intimate health is something that affects all
of us and there’s so many issues that people would rather not talk about.

Vagisil recently
spoke to 2,000 British women about intimate health and the results were really
surprising. It’s shocking how high the embarrassment levels we have about this
issue but how important talking about intimate health is.

Nearly half of women
(47%) are embarrassed to say the word ‘vagina’ if it came up in day-to-day
conversation and nearly two in five women feel embarrassed if the word vagina
was mentioned to them.

Nearly a third of
women are too embarrassed to talk about intimate health to a GP. Whenever I’ve
had any sort of issue over the years I always see a GP about it. I always go in
thinking that they’re seen this a million times before, it’s their job to know
what’s wrong and there’s nothing to feel embarrassed about.

Vagisil is on a
mission to end the embarrassment that exists around intimate health. Apparently
the older we get the more open we are to talk about intimate health, but for
those of you who are still embarrassed at the thought of talking about intimate
health here are some tips to overcome your embarrassment.

-Take a deep breath and handle the problem straight on

-Act confident and be brave

-Be aware that you are not alone

-Be open and honest

-Remember that doctors have seen it all before

As an expert of
intimate health, Vagisil’s range of daily care products are made to look at the
health of your intimate area. Dr Adelaide Nardone, Gynaecologist and Womens
health expert recommends using a ‘gentle wash, wearing cotton underwear helps
to wick away moisture and showering promptly after exercise or activities that cause you
to perspire and if you have a problem to go see a GP.’
